Mechanism of leached layer formation during chemical weathering of silicate minerals (2012, neutral): “These observations could be interpreted in terms of an interface-coupled dissolution-precipitation model (see Putnis, 2009, for a review of this reaction mechanism).”
Bi-melt formation and gold scavenging from hydrothermal fluids: An experimental study (2011, positive): “The textures of the replacement of pyrrhotite by magnetite show the characteristic features of interface-coupled dissolution-reprecipitation reactions (ICDRR; Brugger et al., 2010; Putnis, 2009; Xia et al., 2009a), including a sharp reaction front and porous magnetite product.”
Olivine dissolution rates: A critical review (2018, background): “to depend on the structural match between the two minerals, the relative difference in solubility, and the presence of interconnected porous pathways in the secondary phases (Hodson, 2003; Cubillas et al., 2005; Putnis, 2009; Stockmann et al., 2011, 2013; Ruiz-Agudo et al., 2012; Saldi et al., 2013)”
Trace metal nanoparticles in pyrite (2011, background): “The porosity does not reflect removal of a second phase, but instead results from dissolution of more host mineral than is precipitated (Putnis, 2009), leaving significant amounts of pore space.”
